Dear members,
I have great news concerning the new message boards currently in beta at http://conversations.blackvoices.com. When I read your feedback each morning I see the same theme: fonts, and signatures. These are popular features and I'm happy to share that the team has worked very hard to add them to our new boards.
Fonts
Select from many styles to add personality to your posts. For even more expression, don't forget you can change the font size and color.
Signatures
I know everyone has their preference. Quickly and easily turn signatures off for a cleaner experience. When you're ready to view them again, visit any discussion and select 'On'. Keep in mind, your signature will be hidden as well.
Invite Friends New!
This is a new one, members. Whether you're an existing or new member to the Black Voices community you now have the option to invite your friends to visit your profile. To really stay connected, encourage them to join BV.
1. Sign in first, then select the option to edit or update your profile. Select Invite Friends from the list to the left.
2. When the pop up displays, enter one email address per invitation.
